Dear Fellow members,
My 1.5 years old Pioneer VSX-1131 could not be repaired at Service Center in Delhi. As per their information, Pioneer India has stopped giving warranty/supplying parts to the service center since the last 15 days. So anyone thinking about buying a Pioneer AVR should think twice. The service center final quote for repairing blew up HDMI Board was whopping 43K! Naturally its not advisable to go with repair. Moreover there is no warranty on this costly repaired part.
I am in the market for my new AVR. The speaker set up is 7.1. Speakers are mostly Taga Platinum Series. I have decided NOT to go with an online purchase so as to avoid any warranty claim glitches-at least for an year. Marantz/Denon I have never auditioned. Yamaha, Onkyo & Pioneer I have used previously so know a bit about their sound signatures.
Yamaha RXV 685, RXA 870 availability is there in Delhi through authorized distributor at better price than even online.
Which one to go for--RXV 685 (which has 2 HDMI out, a must feature for me as don't like changing between TV & Projector), any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
